nance empowering E. Miner, Joseph
Ward and M. Walker to conduct and
Operate a system of electric lights in this

Miner. one of the gentlemen, this morn

ed brick and fax tow, and for the pur-
pose Of economy . six inch artesian
we'll is being sunk at the brick yards
which is intended to supply the power
now furnished by Il sixty horse steam

dynamos. DR.. JOS. Ward, who is at
present in the east, is looking up the
best system OF electric lighting and his
Investigations SO far give the Edison
incandesoant the preference, although
another system, q recent invention, bids
fair to occupy the field. The water from
the big well will be conducted in o pipe
about ten feet above the surface, where
it will enter "a trough or chute and be
conducted to a forty foot oyershot
water wheel, which will be erected in
the washout hole or gully which is To-
Gated at the foot of Locust street in the
bluffs which border the Dakota side of
the river, and which is known to every
body who is 4 familiar with the geography
! of the river bank. The water wheel will
! be forty feet in diameter and the buckets
three feet in width. If the charter is
granted, work on the electric system will
begin at once.
